HONDIUS, Jodocus the Elder (1563-1612). India Orientalis. [Amsterdam: 1628].
Highly appealing map of China and Southeast Asia, with a large geographic range extending from Gujarat in the west to the coasts of Southern China with the Pearl River Estuary, Canton and Formosa (Taiwan) in the east.

Northern Sumatra and Borneo are depicted in the south, with the Philippine archipelago, together with the Paracel Islands, shown as a diagrammatic shoal, to the east. First published in 1606, this issue corresponds to the 1628 French edition of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas. Suarez fig. 111; Van der Krogt 8400:1A (from Atlas 1:114, 1628 French edition).
Engraved double-page map, coloured by a contemporary hand, French text on verso, two decorative ships and sea monster, 360 x 495mm (plate mark), 476 x 570mm (sheet).
